Ticketing on 12/31

[MarlaPR]

Hi! We are planning to visit Magic Kingdom on 12/31 can someone tell me how are the lines to buy the tickets. :xmas:

If you need more information; in the group some of us are planning to be more than four days and bought the park hopper in the inernet but the ones that are going three days need a single day ticket.

I would buy the tickets before getting to the park. It is going to be very busy that day! Be sure to get there at park opening, and dont leave the park, as you may not get back in! Have a great time!

Thank you, Steve!!

We are planning to be very very early since we have priority seating at the Crystal Palace. We are going to buy the tickets at the hotel then.:hammer:

I was there last year. It took about 45 minutes to get from the parking lot to the MK entrance! The lines for tickets were crazy! PREBUY!!!!

Be prepared for more people than you've ever seen. Last year it was about 85 degrees and everyone seemed to be in good spirits. The year before... a major rain storm hit around 7 PM and everyone ran for cover. The park was enjoyable after the brief monsoon, but before hand, it was nuts!

The NYE fireworks are worth the wait!

If the lines are gonna be long on that day, can you buy single days tickets in advance...?? As I am just going for that one day this trip.....

And whats the capacity of the park? How long does it take to fill??

The capacity of the MK is 100,000. When I was there a couple of years ago, it was full by noon.

That a difficult question. It would be a phased closing, so it would largely depend on how you were arriving at the park, and what kind of pass/resort ID you had.

Thats incorrect; from my experience working with the Main Street Ops folks, youre wrong on that.

Disney does not publish capacity figures of it's theme parks - but they do have phased closings due to heavy guest traffic. Based on what ive seen, the only days that happened this were during Spring Break, and they never went phase 4, or no more people AT ALL for a lil while. The initial Phase is shutting down the toll plaza and redirecting guests to another park - like Epcot.

Not to mention the sale of all one day tickets is suspended.

Like Steve said, buy your tickets early, and make sure you have multi-day tickets.
